The election over. Campaign memories already faded. Inauguration Day less than 3 weeks away.

But doubts rankle still about the way we vote. Could it be more efficient, more democratic? Could more of us participate? Could we ever get rid of the Electoral College ... and should we want to?

Should we be considering weekend voting, universal early voting, e-voting, even compulsory voting? (which they have in more than 30 countries, including Belgium, Brazil and Australia!)

Those questions and more on our Due Process post-election show, featuring Sandra King in conversation with Marc Holzer, Dean of The Rutgers School of Public Affairs and Administration, and Thomas Gentile, a onetime campaign adviser to Rudy Giuliani and a spokesman for the Federalist Society. And if that's not enough to make you to tune in to Due Process, watch us for some biting election satire from the documentary "Electoral Dysfunction" and political humorist Mo Rocca.


Due Process - winner of 21 New York and Mid-Atlantic Emmys - airs on NJTV, successor to New Jersey Network, on the stations and cable positions once occupied by NJN.
 
Due Process is a production of Rutgers School of Law - Newark and the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy with studio facilities provided by the Rutgers iTV Studio, Division of Continuing Studies. 
 
Major funding for Due Process is provided by The Fund for New Jersey and Rutgers, The State University.

In Part II of this Emmy Award winning two-program Due Process special, Hosts Raymond Brown and Sandra King continue their candid conversation with United States Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer.
 
Taped on location at Rutgers Law School, before an audience of students, academics, jurists and lawyers, the two programs cover a wide range of court cases and conflicts - from Dred Scott and the Cherokee Nation decisions in the 19th Century, to Korematsu and Brown in the 20th, and Bush v. Gore and the Guantanamo cases in the 21st.
 
Justice Breyer's book, "Making Our Democracy Work," cites those cases and more in his argument that a strong democracy is dependent, not just on the division of powers, but on a Court that commands the respect of the American citizenry.
 
Although the interview is conducted by Sandy and Raymond, the programs also feature enthusiastic participation from the audience, with questions from such notables as former NJ Supreme Court Chief Justice Deborah Poritz, NJ Institute for Social Justice President Cornell Brooks and Rutgers Law Prof. Paul Tractenberg.
